    Are We Stumbling into World War III in Ukraine?

    U.S. and Ukrainian armies attend the opening ceremony of the “RAPID TRIDENT-2021” military exercises.

    Israel’s “Flour Massacre”: When A Crime Becomes A “Tragedy”

    Corporate journalists are indeed ‘masters of self-adulation’, as Noam Chomsky has observed. In fact, they have to be; or at least they have to appear to be.

  • Aiding Those We Kill: US Humanitarianism in Gaza

  • Girl Scouts Threatened for Supporting Palestinian Children

    Girl Scouts Threatened for Supporting Palestinian Children

    Guess who threatened them? The Girl Scouts of the United States. Stories abound of retaliation against those who express concern over Israeli ethnic cleansing – from censoring news reports to reprimanding faculty, mass arrests, and suppressing students’ right to protest.
